WASO speaks with an astrophysicist about The Planets
Did you know?
-
In 1839, Wagner and his wife fled Eastern Prussia across the North Sea towards London. Several thunderstorms tossed the ship so violently that the usual 8-day journey took almost 4 weeks.
-
This voyage, and a poem by Heinrich Heine about the dark, churning sea, inspired Wagner’s supernatural opera, The Flying Dutchman.
-
WASO Principal Conductor Asher Fisch has always wanted to conduct Three Pieces for Orchestra. Hear the maestro bring his touch to the work for the first time!
-
Holst developed a love for astrology which went on to inspire his composition of The Planets. He admitted that casting horoscopes for his friends was his “pet vice”.

About the Music
Richard Wagner (1813-1883)
The Flying Dutchman: Overture
The Flying Dutchman tells the story of a sea captain who, living under a curse, is doomed to sail the seas for all eternity or until he is released from his torment through the love and redemptive sacrifice of a pure woman. He anchors his phantom ship in a sheltered cove in Norway and finds in a young woman, Senta, the redeemer he longs for. Senta, too, yearns to liberate the Dutchman and in the closing moments of the opera casts herself into the sea to be united with her beloved in death.
The robust theme announced by the horns at the beginning of the overture is strongly associated with the Dutchman. The turbulent rising and falling waves thrashed out by the strings and the pervasive and unstable diminished seventh harmonies suggest a terrifying ocean voyage. The ocean is tamed, however, with the appearance of one of Senta’s melodies, enunciated by the cor anglais and supported by other woodwinds. We have moved from the key of D minor to F major and have sailed into harmonically stable waters. But the period of calm is short-lived, for we soon return to D minor and the turbulent themes associated with the accursed protagonist. Thematic contrast appears in the form of the buoyant Norwegian sailors’ song (again in F major and enunciated by the winds) but this, too, is thwarted by the Dutchman and the tempestuous sea. Finally, Senta’s ‘redemption’ theme rings out triumphantly in D major, signifying that peace has come at last to the tragic, long-suffering Dutchman.

About the Music
Alban Berg (1885 – 1935)
Three Pieces for Orchestra, Op.6
I Präludium
II Reigen
III Marsch
It’s perhaps surprising that Alban Berg should have exerted such an influence on 20th-century music given that he received relatively little formal training. A gifted amateur whose social circle in fin de siècle Vienna included such members of the cultural elite as the artist Gustav Klimt and architect Adolf Loos, he remained
largely self-taught until seeking out private tuition with Arnold Schoenberg in 1904. Schoenberg, a pivotal if still divisive figure in modern music, was at the time preparing to embark on a series of compositions which would erode the tonal foundations that had underpinned Western music for over three hundred years. His highly expressive and chromatic 1899 sextet Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), whilst largely tonal, foreshadowed his imminent musical direction. Ten years later he would dispense with conventional tonal structures completely in his Three Piano Pieces, Op.11.
Schoenberg himself did not see his experiments as an act of rebellion, however, and even disliked the term ‘atonal’; he viewed his ventures not as revolution but evolution – the next logical step after the harmonic developments of Wagner, Richard Strauss and Mahler had pushed tonality to its limits with the lush dissonances that give late-Romantic music its richly dramatic character. Schoenberg took this even further: in placing equal importance on all twelve notes of the chromatic scale – the so-called ‘twelve-note’ method of composition – he effectively abolished the concept of tonal hierarchy (that is, the idea that certain notes in the scale are more important musically than others), the leading principle underlying Western music up until that point. By doing this, Schoenberg famously remarked, he had broken free from the ‘fetters of a bygone aesthetic’. Along with his fellow student Anton Webern, Berg adopted these ideas, albeit in his own very personal, emotionally charged style.
Berg studied for six years with Schoenberg, and such was his lasting respect for his teacher that he dedicated several works to him, including his Three Pieces for Orchestra, written in honour of Schoenberg’s 40th birthday in 1914. Berg had shown early promise in his lessons, however Schoenberg lamented his talented pupil’s disinclination toward composing much else other than songs and miniatures, and urged him to apply his efforts to larger instrumental forms. The result, the Three Pieces for Orchestra, is Berg’s first major symphonic work.
Berg described the opening Präludium as a symphonic first movement; Reigen as a scherzo and slow movement; and the Marsch, as long as the first two movements put together, as a symphonic finale. The score calls for a huge orchestra, which Berg employs to great dramatic effect. The influence of Gustav Mahler, a composer Berg revered, is apparent: before beginning work on the Three Pieces Berg had attended the posthumous Viennese premiere of Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, whose music he described to Schoenberg as ‘no longer of this world … a mysterious miracle of nature’. This might describe the opening and closing sections of the palindromic first movement, which begins with soft, unpitched percussion (tam tam, cymbals, snare drum, bass drum), then pitched percussion (timpani), before melodic ideas vaguely begin to emerge. The music builds to a climax before dying away into nothingness as it began.
The title of the second movement, Reigen, is often translated as ‘Round Dance’. The switch to waltz tempo one minute in recalls Mahler. Berg expertly manipulates his orchestra: a particularly striking gesture occurs at the end as a full orchestral trill gives way to a distant brass fanfare.
Berg fully mobilizes his orchestral forces in the final Marsch, a nod to the marches of Mahler’s Fifth and Sixth symphonies. The music powerfully erupts and dissolves by turn, the movement ending with a Mahlerian hammer blow.
The first two of the Three Pieces were premiered on 5 June 1923 in Berlin, under the direction of Anton Webern. The first performance of the complete work was given some years later, on 14 April 1930, conducted by Johannes Schüler. Berg was right to observe Schoenberg’s advice: after composing Three Orchestral Pieces he hit his stride with such large-scale compositions as the Lyric Suite, Violin Concerto, and the operas Wozzeck and Lulu, works that remain his most enduring.

First performance:
5 June 1923, Berlin. Anton Webern, conductor.
First WASO performance:
This is WASO’s first performance of the work.
Instrumentation:
four each of flutes (all double piccolo), oboes (fourth doubles cor anglais), clarinets (two double on E♭ and bass clarinet) and bassoons (fourth doubles contra bassoon); six horns, four trumpets, four trombones, tuba; two timpani, five percussion, two harps, celeste and strings.
Glossary
Tonal – the harmonic system which developed in the late 17th century and was the basis of all music of the Classical period. It is based on the concept of a tonic chord, to which the other chords of the scale are related, some very closely, so that they seem to lead directly back to the tonic, others more distantly. A piece of Classical music can be understood as a journey away from the tonic chord, creating a sense of tension, and then back to it, releasing that harmonic tension.
Chromatic – in tonal music, the use of foreign notes and harmonies that do not belong to the key, together with a tendency to frequent modulation to other keys. The impression is one of harmonic richness and while chromaticism has been used as an expressive effect since the 16th century, it is most strongly associated with the Romantic style of the 19th century.

About the Music
Gustav Holst (1874 – 1934)
The Planets, Op.32
I Mars, the Bringer of War
II Venus, the Bringer of Peace
III Mercury, the Winged Messenger
IV Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
V Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
VI Uranus, the Magician
VII Neptune, the Mystic
The Planets must be one of the most influential musical works of the 20th century. Russell Crowe and his cohorts in Gladiator seemed that bit more craggily determined thanks to a score that reminded us of Mars. At the close of Neptune, Holst invents the fade-out. The iridescent opening of Jupiter foreshadows the work of John Adams, and for many years Anglicans have sung its big central tune as the patriotic hymn, I vow to thee my country.
As a repository of orchestral special effects and memorable tunes, the piece has certainly earned its pop status, but its very popularity and the imitations it has spawned have disadvantaged it and its composer. We need to make an effort to hear the work with fresh ears and to remind ourselves that this was very radical music for its time. Moreover, we should note that it is atypical of its composer. An artist of great integrity, Holst refused to imitate the piece to ensure his own status, so that we sadly hear little of his other work, even though much of it is of the same quality as The Planets.
Holst, like his great friend Vaughan Williams, was of a generation educated at London’s Royal College of Music which rejuvenated British music through the study of Tudor music and the collection of folksong. The young Holst was at first a Wagnerian, and his early works show this influence in their opulence and richly chromatic harmony. After some years as a professional trombonist, Holst decided in 1903 to devote himself to composition. In practice, though, this meant beginning his career as an outstanding teacher at St Paul’s Girls’ School, Morley College, and later the RCM. He also became drawn to eastern mysticism, particularly that of Hinduism, which led, indirectly, to his development of a much leaner harmonic style.
Composed between 1914 and 1917, the seven movements of The Planets are less about depicting large balls of gas and rock than about each planet’s astrological significance. Given the outbreak of the First World War at the time, it is hard not to see Mars as grimly prophetic of the carnage of the first hi-tech war. Where a composer like Mahler uses military music for an ambiguously thrilling effect, Holst takes pains to make his music simply inhuman: the opening three-note theme traces the tritone, an unstable interval often called ‘the devil in music’. The relentlessly repeated rhythm, or ostinato, is no simple march, having five beats to a bar. The harmony is bitonal, that is, it superimposes chords of two different keys to give it its sense of unrelieved dissonance, especially at the shattering climax.
Venus, the Bringer of Peace offers a complete contrast: the orchestration is sweet and languorous and the harmony, while still frequently bitonal, uses chords which avoid direct clashes of adjacent notes, creating subtle voluptuousness.
Mercury is rather like a symphonic scherzo: short, fast and orchestrated with the utmost delicacy. At the heart of the suite, Jupiter is an orchestral tour de force. The glittering fast music with which it opens is busy but crystal clear; its theme, like that of Mars, is based on a three-note motive, but here it is completely and solidly diatonic. The Planets was first planned during a holiday in Spain, so we shouldn’t be surprised to hear certain Iberian sounds and rhythms in the dance music which follows. This is interrupted by a fanfare of repeated chords, which ushers in the quiet statement of the celebrated maestoso theme. The quintessentially British tune may seem out of place in a celebration of the Bringer of Jollity – it is hardly thigh-slappingly funny. Curiously, too, it doesn’t reach a full close: what should be the second last chord sets off an echo of the shimmering sounds of the opening. The tune does, however, stride through tumultuous last pages of the movement.
If Jupiter’s big tune was a reminder that joy is fleeting, Saturn makes this very clear in its portentous, death-ward tread and ever more disturbing brass chords. Uranus, however, casts a spell in music as innocent as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Taking his cue from Debussy’s Sirènes, Holst imbues Neptune with the mystery of wordless, offstage female voices. With its translucent scoring and the hypnotic use of repeated chord patterns, the work ends as perhaps no other had before, fading imperceptibly into night and silence.

Glossary
Wagnerian – Influenced by Richard Wagner
Chromatic – Use of notes which are not part of the key
Tritone – A particular interval, also called a diminished fifth or augmented fourth, which has an unstable and perhaps disturbing feel. In the Middle Ages it was nicknamed ‘the Devil in music’
Bitonal – Using two different keys at the same time
Diatonic – Music which conforms to a key, without discordant notes
Maestoso – Majestically

Did you know?
Holst was first inspired to compose The Planets after a discussion about astrology piqued his interest in horoscopes.
The Planets depicts a series of mood pictures in which planetary influence acts as the metaphor, in the same way as horoscopes allow planetary ruling to provide a framework for personality types.
See how Holst laid out his psychological journey…
-
Mars, the Bringer of War
Mars’ moons are Phobos (fear) and Deimos (terror), and its astrological symbol is composed of a spear and shield. Depicted by a fierce, remorseless allegro.
-
Venus, the Bringer of Peace
Astrologer Noel Tyl says that “when the disorder of Mars is past, Venus restores peace and harmony.” Depicted by an adagio, giving way to tranquil flutes, harps and celesta.
-
Mercury, the Winged Messenger
To astrologers, Mercury is “the thinker.” Depicted by a virtuosic scherzo; unstable, nervously changeable in meter and harmony—in a word, mercurial.
-
Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity
Buoyant and exuberant music. The broad tune in the middle section embodies the traits of nobility and generosity; astrological characteristics for those born under Jupiter.
-
Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
Noel Tyl describes Saturn as “man’s time on earth, his ambition…his disappointments.” Depicted by a slow processional adagio, rising to a climax before fading away as if into the reaches of space.
-
Uranus, the Magician
In astrology, Uranus rules invention, innovation, and astrology itself. Beginning with tremendous triple invocation, a galumphing dance then leads the way.
-
Neptune, the Mystic
Invisible to the naked eye, Neptune speaks of distance and mystery. Depicted by a slow movement with swaying, irregular meter, softly dissonant in harmony, full of shimmering harps and celesta.

Meet the Musician
Alex Timcke
Principal Timpani
How did you get into music? Can you remember your first WASO concert? How would you describe tonight’s concert in one sentence? What do you love most about being a professional musician? What are you most proud of?
I was fortunate enough to attend a high school in Adelaide that specialised in music. I had no previous experience in music at all,
which in hindsight, must have been quite a dilemma for them! They ended up giving me to the percussion teacher, no doubt hoping I’d give up and move on. Unfortunately for them, the teacher and I got along extremely well, and I continued lessons throughout high school. He encouraged me to pursue percussion at a tertiary level and from there, everything fell into place.
What is the most difficult thing about being a percussionist?
I think as a student, it can become quite overwhelming trying to become an expert on so many instruments, each with their own peculiarities, unique sounds and techniques. So by default, we become adept at time management and multi-tasking. It can become a little all-encompassing but it’s a unique and special job.

Community Engagement & Education
Education Week+ Wrap Up
An annual tradition at WASO is our Education Week+: a festival for families, students, emerging composers, community musicians and more. A two-week celebration that shines a spotlight on just some of the amazing programs that WASO delivers, these programs reach hundreds of individuals and create opportunities for people of all ages and walks of life to engage with extraordinary music and musicians – stimulating life-long learning and participation in a rewarding cultural life.
2021 Education Week+ saw WASO performing and engaging with over 4,000 individuals from June 1 – 12. Kicking off with a free concert featuring presenter Lee Stanley and the Education Chamber Orchestra in EChO’s Sea Adventures, families and little ones aged 0 – 6 set sail for the high seas to experience a musical extravaganza. Lee Stanley and a quartet of musicians including Rebecca Glorie and Jasmine Middleton (UWA Masters Student) on violin, Alexander Millier on clarinet and John Keene on double bass delivered three creative development workshops for students in Years 5 and 6 at North Parmelia and Medina Primary School as a part of our much-loved Crescendo program. Students were creatively engaged throughout the hour, relishing in the chance to compose and perform a song with their WASO musician to their class.
Other highlights of Education Week+ included Composition Project, WASO’s flagship artist development program. Led by celebrated Australian composer and project Artistic Director James Ledger, five promising and emerging composers premiered new solo works written for WASO musicians. The quality of composition was experimental and impressive, and well received by an audience of composer family, friends, but also members of the general public excited to see something a bit different.
The crowd favourite Rusty Orchestra performed a selection of popular and engaging music to a delighted, sold out audience at Perth Concert Hall. Conducted by Peter Moore, community musicians practiced for months and travelled from all over Perth and the South West to perform side-by-side with WASO musicians. The performance was followed by thunderous applause, with some audience members giving a standing ovation and even tears whilst applauding.
Triple-threat orchestral performer Thea Rossen made her debut with WASO. The percussionist, composer and educator presented three performances of Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, during which young audience members had the opportunity to have their compositions performed live by WASO musicians. Both schools and families loved the performances and getting involved, particularly during the body percussion section and at the bubble machine and origami stations.
“It’s always a privilege for us musicians to be able to take part in these projects, to share our love of music, and to get to see how music can affect people in such powerful and profound ways.
“A privilege indeed!”
